Placing the Tail Wrap on Your Horse
Minimize exposure to sunscreen, bleach, mosquito repellant, and chemicals found in certain soaps and first aid ointments. Specifically, propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) can damage the tail wrap.
Before you place the tail wrap on your horse, ensure the sensor is firmly placed in the tail wrap with the arrows aligned (Installing the Sensor in the Tail Wrap).
-
Slide the open wrap under the horse's tail until it is aligned with the center of the tail.
-
Secure the tail wrap using the two main straps with hook and loop closure.
-
Wrap the extension strap around the tail wrap as many times as needed to ensure a good fit and attach it using the hook and loop closure.
-
Ensure the wrap is snug on the
horse's tail.

Wipe down the gel pads on the tail wrap before each use.
